Two Sailors assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) received annual leadership awards from the Eisenhower Foundation in Abilene, Kansas, Oct. 9. The Abilene-based Eisenhower Foundation sponsors the President and Gen. Eisenhower Awards, both of which are open to all Sailors permanently assigned to the ship. This year, the foundation selected Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman Gentry Lloyd as the General Eisenhower Leadership Award winner for outstanding service to the ship and selected Aviation Electrician’s Mate 3rd Class Brandon Jarvela as the President Eisenhower Leadership Award winner for outstanding service in the local community. Capt. Stephen T. Koehler, Eisenhower’s commanding officer, sent a video message conveying his warm regards while the ship is underway, continuing its robust operational schedule. “These are two great Sailors that you’re recognizing,” Koehler said. “I’m certain you’ll have a wonderful time getting to meet these Sailors as you celebrate not only their accomplishments, but as you celebrate a landmark birthday for one of our nation’s greatest presidents as well. Although I can’t be there with you, please know that I’m with you in spirit as we press forward out here to make sure the Mighty Ike [Eisenhower] is more than ready for the fight.” Eisenhower Command Master Chief Shay Langejans, who accompanied the awardees to the ceremony, said they have both distinguished themselves by providing strong leadership within their departments and throughout the ship.

FROM THE REGION CMC Leaders possess great peripheral vision By CMDCM (SW/AW) Gregg L. Snaza Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Command Master Chief

Leaders share a common trait – they have great awareness of their surroundings. Never content with just looking straight ahead, leaders remove their blinders and keep a close watch on where they are going, where they are and never lose sight of where they came from. Do you have this kind of peripheral vision? Do you ‘keep your head on a swivel?’ A common leadership training phrase is, ‘if you see a problem, you own the problem.’ I think that statement is clear. Unfortunately, I’m not sure everyone buys into this statement. Every time one of us walks by a problem and turns a blind eye we, perhaps unintentionally, condone what we see. The long-term effect is that we, or the offenders, become complacent. I would like to take a minute this week to discuss leadership and why it’s so important you not only say you are a leader – you also actually prove you’re a leader. Our Navy is lean, we’re building smaller ships and we don’t have any extra people. All these things combined mean today, more than ever before, each of us is vital to the future of our Navy, and the future has no room for those who can’t or won’t lead. The good news is most of you are taking the challenge in stride and doing your best to lead and train others. I’ve traveled throughout Navy Region Mid-Atlantic and I’m still amazed at your incredible enthusiasm and energy. Your accomplishments are significant and I think it’s clear our Navy’s future is bright. Having said that, I think it’s important we all pause now and then to ask ourselves if we’re doing everything we can to be the leaders we would like others to see us as. Nothing impresses me more than to see a Sailor stop another and correct a deficiency, whether that is a failure to salute an officer or a Sailor violating a uniform regulation. What doesn’t impress me is watching Sailors turn a blind eye and pretending not to see a problem, or refusing to correct the deficiency. In my book, you are either a leader or you’re not a leader. There’s no room in our Navy for part-time leaders. Leadership is not a collateral duty – it’s your most important duty. We expect a lot from our Sailors, and almost all of you deliver in spades. You’ve all heard the phrase, ‘you’re a Sailor first, and a rating specialist second.’ I particularly like that phrase because it helps us all keep

things in perspective. While we all do our best to be technically proficient in our respective fields, we all share a common bond as leaders. To serve as a Sailor, each of us is charged with lofty expectations: We must lead; we must train our replacements; we must be respectful; we must practice discipline. If you do these things, you should have no problem living up to our core values – Honor, Courage and Commitment. The other day I heard someone ask another Sailor, ‘Do you have the courage to honor your commitment?’ Wow. That’s pretty good. The more I thought about that the more I liked it. It’s actually what made me want to address leadership this week. Think about it – leadership takes courage more than anything else. Most people know what is right and wrong, but only the strongest leaders do their best to ensure others live up to our standards as well as themselves. Shipmates don’t be afraid to speak up if you see something wrong. You have every right to challenge another person, respectfully, who is violating one of our instructions or standards. If the person is junior to you, the response should be something along the lines of, ‘aye aye.’ If the person is senior, I think you’ll find often the response is, ‘ hey, thanks for letting me know, I’ll square it away.’ Sound silly? I don’t think so. I see it and hear it often. I’ve had many a junior person confront me in my career and I always thanked them for pointing something out to me that might have saved me some embarrassment with other senior people. I would hope every senior person would take that approach. On a final note, I want to share with you the need to be tactful. I believe each of us needs to do our best to respect others, junior and senior. I always try to ask a person to square him or herself away before giving an order. It makes for a better confrontation and avoids escalating a situation into an argument. I’m sure you all know what I mean. Do your level best to first live up to the standards yourself, and then help others achieve the same high standards. The final piece is consistency. Don’t be a part-time problem solver. Each of us needs to uphold our standards all the time, not just when it’s convenient to us or we feel comfortable. Leadership is not completely comfortable. If you ever start feeling completely comfortable in your leadership it’s probably time to pause and think about it for a moment. Good luck Shipmates! Keep up the good work and thanks for your service and your leadership!

NMCP’S INTERNS ADD TOUCH OF HOME TO LOCAL SHELTER By MC2 Korrin Kim Naval Medical Center Portsmouth Public Affairs

PORTSMOUTH

Several of Naval Medical Center Portsmouth’s transition interns answered a request to help a local shelter with about a dozen interns and spouses volunteering their time to clean, paint and decorate on Sept. 26. “The H.E.R. (agency) recently had to open a new shelter in Chesapeake, and they put out on Facebook that they needed help cleaning, painting and decorating the old shelter in Portsmouth,” said Sharon Mason, transitional year intern coordinator. “It was an easy decision for the interns – they gladly volunteered to help out.” H.E.R. stands for Help and Emergency Response, a private, non-profit agency that provides leadership, advocacy and resources to survivors and communities affected by domestic violence and homelessness in Hampton Roads.

For four years, the transitional interns have been volunteering with H.E.R., assisting in many ways from activities with the children to male mentoring on the fourth Thursday of the month. This new project was an additional way the interns could help the shelter. The interns, a few of their spouses and the transitional year intern coordinator started with cleaning; then they were painting and making minor repairs, such as replacing electrical covers, and installing new mini-blinds and curtain rods. Lastly, they made the shelter feel more like home by decorating. “We had the opportunity to go to the shelters and see the conditions of the rooms that the families where living in,” said Lt. Lane Pope, transitional year intern. “The rooms themselves, before we got there, weren’t anything too exciting. By going out and completely redecorating, we were able to make it warm and friendly – a place that anyone could call home.” In addition to cleaning and decorat-

ing, the interns donated about $500 to the shelter. The money donated didn’t come from fundraising or through soliciting money from others to donate; all money donated came from the interns. “Being in the Navy, we all have an inherent desire to serve, both foreign and domestic, and our community is a big part of that,” said Lt. Peyton Johnson, one the interns who volunteered at the shelter. “We agreed as a group that domestic violence is a pretty big problem, and we recognized that through volunteering, we might be able to make the women and children at H.E.R. feel more comfortable.” For Johnson, volunteering with H.E.R. hits close to home. “Domestic violence is something that I have experience with,” Johnson said. “I had a friend, and she and her husband had some issues in their marriage, so that was my personal motivation to participate. It was an honor to be able to give back to the community. It really meant a lot to us.”

MARMC continues to certify Sailors with NAMTS By By Chris Wyatt MARMC Public Affairs

NORFOLK

Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC) graduated 13 Sailors in its fourth Naval Afloat Maintenance Training Strategy (NAMTS) ceremony in Building CEP-200 aboard Naval Station Norfolk, Oct. 7. MARMC Sailors enrolled in the NAMTS program receive on the job training which assists them in gaining one of 16 potential Navy Enlisted Classifications (NEC). “This is always a great occasion to come over to CEP-200 and recognize these Sailors who have completed the NAMTS program,” said MARMC Commanding Officer Capt. Steven Stancy. “NAMTS is a very important part of the work we do at MARMC. This program gives Sailors ship maintenance and repair training, so when they go back to sea, they have additional skills to keep their ships operational and fully mission ready without having to seek assistance from the outside to support that mission.” NAMTS NECs are drilled down to a specific trade that corresponds with a Sailor’s rate. Sailors are given 18 months to complete their NEC, but most are able to finish within a few months, giving them time to receive training in another area to potentially gain an additional NEC. “I hope folks are aware that you can attain more than one NEC,” said Stancy. “Sailors that are here on regular orders are required to do one, but the option is available for you to earn more. Earning your NEC shows initiative, improves your level of knowledge and lastly, it improves fleet readiness.” NAMTS training is available to Sailors on shore duty at regional maintenance centers, intermediate maintenance activities or facilities, shipyards and aboard tenders, as well as those stationed on ships undergoing extended maintenance availabilities. “I ask all of you to keep up the hard work. I am really proud of you for all of the accomplishments you’ve made here,” said Stancy. “Congratulations to you all.” For more information about NAMTS, visit www. portal.navy.mil/crmc/namts (Common Access Card enabled site).

LINCOLN CELEBRATES HISPANIC HERITAGE By MCSN Derry Todd USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) Public Affairs

NEWPORT NEWS

Sailors assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) observed Hispanic Heritage Month aboard the floating accommodation facility, Oct. 1. The event included Lincoln Sailors of Hispanic heritage sharing stories of growing up in the Hispanic culture and how that influence impacts them as a Sailor. The ceremony concluded with a cake cutting ceremony with the Lincoln’s Commanding Officer Capt. Ron Ravelo, Command Master Chief Lee Salas, and Lincoln Sailors of Hispanic descent. According to 2010 data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Hispanics comprise 16.3 percent of the total U.S. population, or 50.5 million people, forming our county’s largest racial or ethnic minority. The Pew Research Center projects that by 2050, a quarter of the nation’s workforce will be

Hispanic. Navy Office of Diversity and Inclusion Public Affairs indicates that more than 58,000 Hispanic active-duty and reserve Sailors serve in the Navy, making up more than 13 percent of the Navy’s force structure. Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Sandra Guzman, a Hispanic Sailor who participated in the event, commented on what this month means to her. “It’s good to know where we came from and where we are going,” Guzman said. “It’s important to honor our past and to see how much we’ve grown.” Observance of Hispanic heritage began Sept. 17, 1968, when President Lyndon B. Johnson designated a week in midSeptember as National Hispanic Heritage Week. Twenty years later in 1988, President Ronald Reagan extended that week to a month-long observance. Salas, a Latino and native of San Antonio, Texas, spoke to the participating Sailors during the event. Afterwards, he

commented on why events like these were important for the Navy. “I think it’s important because it reminds Sailors of Hispanic descent where we came from and why we serve,” Salas said. “Also, these celebrations remind us that many cultures make up the Navy, not just one.” In conjunction with this ceremony, Lincoln is slated to hold several Hispanic heritage oriented events throughout the month of October, including an exercise session with salsa music, and a luncheon featuring a variety of Latino cultures.

NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic Public Affairs NORFOLK

Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Mid-Atlantic graduated 30 employees from its 2015 Emerging Leadership Program (ELP) class on Sept. 25 at Naval Station Norfolk. The ELP program is a competitive sixmonth course designed to develop and improve management and leadership competencies of general schedule and wage grade federal employees. Capt. J. Pat Rios, NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic commanding officer, personally presented certificates to each participant, offering the graduates advice on how that might apply newly acquired leadership skills to work. He stressed the importance of listening skills and having the ability to ask questions when seeking to fully communicate. Understanding different leadership styles is paramount to success because "not every single job requires the same set of tools,” said Rios. Rios noted that Mid-Atlantic is the largest command within the NAVFAC enterprise and urged the graduates to set the standard, challenging “Now go out into the organization and drive change!” The ELP began at NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic in 2010 and was designed to help motivated employees take the next step in their careers. The multi-faceted curriculum is spread over three one-week sessions, held at the command’s headquarters in Norfolk, with the students performing various assignments on their own to complete the rest of the program. The format allows the students to immediately apply what they learn in the classroom. Over the course of the six months, these professionals studied how to manage conflict, leading with emotional intelligence, personal wellness and building team satisfaction, as well as personal and team development. They also benefited from interaction with command leadership, with presentations given by business and support line leaders and deputy public works officers. According to Linda Wilkinson, human resources specialist from the NAVFAC Atlantic Human Resources Workforce Development office, "Through this valuable program, I have witnessed each cadre member grow-both personally and professionally. Eager to get results, they are putting what they have learned into action." The next Mid-Atlantic Emerging Leadership Program will be announced at the beginning of 2016.

By MC3 J. R. Pacheco

[Hispanic Americans] have a strong commitment to family, faith and service – and it’s an honor to be part of that ongoing tradition.”

USS Harry S. Truman Public Affairs

ATLANTIC OCEAN

Sailors aboard aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) joined the nation Oct. 4 in celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month, observed from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. During an event held in Truman’s fo’c’sle, Sailors recognized contributions made by Hispanic and Latino Americans to the U.S. and its Navy by celebrating their heritage and culture. Aviation Boatswain’s Mate 1st Class J. Iturbe, who spoke at the event, said part of the Navy’s strength lies in its diversity and in the different experiences and skills each background contributes to the mission. “Hispanic Americans have proudly served the Navy during every war in our nation’s history,” said Iturbe. “We have a strong commitment to family, faith and service – and it’s an honor to be part of that ongoing tradition. I’m proud to be Latino, I’m proud to be a Sailor, and I’m proud to be an American.” Hispanic Heritage Month begins each year on Sept. 15, the anniversary of independence for five Latin American countries – Costa

noted Spear. “We owe them much for their sacrifices and commitment to our American way of life. I hope by me running this marathon helps raise public awareness to their sacrifices and the challenges they face every day.” Spear began her run at 5 a.m. on JEB Little Creek running on an approved track on base. She completed the first 53 miles on base and then transported to JEB Fort Story to finish the final two-miles ending up at the historic Cape Henry Lighthouse on base. She completed her run at 7:24 p.m. Spear had run a similar event in 2010 focused around her 50th birthday. “Our military members who are serving today are our brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, neighbors, and friends and loved ones,” noted Spear. “They volunteer to serve our country so we can maintain our freedoms and our way of life. Anything I can do to raise the public’s awareness of the challenges they now face is only a small token of appreciation for the sacrifices they have made. “I ask all of Hampton Roads to say a prayer for those veterans who live with challenges from their injuries,” said Spear. “Many would gladly serve again if given the chance. They fortitude and patriotic spirit is truly amazing! I am inspired by their love and faith in our great county.”

-Aviation Boatswain’s Mate 1st Class J. Iturbe

Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Mexico, Chile and Belize also celebrate their independence days during the monthlong period. Aviation Ordnanceman 1st Class L. Parker, a member of Truman’s heritage committee, helped plan the event. She said, observances like these are important because they spread awareness to Sailors throughout the ship. “Events like these are a great way for us to break down barriers and disregard

stereotypes,” said Parker. “The event was definitely a success. It was well received and I think everyone learned something new about Hispanic culture. All the speakers had great information and the Latin dances that were demonstrated were very entertaining. Everyone involved did a great job giving us just a little taste of their colorful and rich heritage.” Aviation Boatswain’s Mate 2nd Class B. Arrington, who demonstrated Bachata, Merengue and Salsa dances with the help of five other Sailors, said she enjoys being involved in heritage committee events because it allows her to contribute to a more diverse Navy. “Learning about other people’s cultures and histories should be an all-hands evolution,” said Arrington. “Working with Truman’s heritage committee is a perfect opportunity to do just that. Being a part of these experiences gives us a chance, as Sailors, to momentarily step out of our uniforms and into someone else’s shoes.” For more information about the diverse role Hispanic culture plays in our nation’s military, visit the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI) website at http://www.deomi.org/specialobservance.

On Oct. 5, Mary Spear gave the extra effort and ran the extra mile to help raise awareness for Virginia Veteran and Family Support Program formally known as the Virginia Wounded Warrior Program. She ran a 55-mile marathon recognizing her recent birthday having turned double-nickel in age. Spear is a financial educator and counselor for the Fleet and Family Support Center on board Joint Expeditionary Base (JEB) Little Creek-Fort Story and is married to a naval aviator. She is intimately familiar with military life and the sacrifices they and their families make each and every day in defense of our freedoms. “Our military members and their families make sacrifices each and every day and many times it goes unnoticed by the general public,” stated Spear. “Many of our warriors have made the ultimate sacrifice for all us to enjoy the precious freedoms that we cherish so dearly. “However, many more are living today that either suffer from a combination of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), or are working to re-establish their life with missing limbs or other tragic injuries,”

U.S. Navy photo Service members run with Mary Spear on board Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek. Spear started her 55-mile marathon at 5 a.m., and ended at the Cape Henry Lighthouse at 7:24 p.m.

Married couples among Navy scientists, engineers honored By John Joyce NSWC Dahlgren Division Corporate Communications

DAHLGREN, VA.

Navy engineers Janette Calo and Mike McDonald celebrated their graduate degrees with a spontaneous high-five while passing each other at an award event Sept. 21. The married couple’s resounding clap echoed throughout the University of Mary Washington Dahlgren Campus auditorium. It sparked applause among family, friends, and coworkers at the 19th consecutive Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) Academic Recognition Ceremony where 94 awardees were recognized for achieving academic milestones from bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees to professional certifications. Janette just received her award certificate from NSWCDD Commanding Officer Capt. Brian Durant and NSWCDD Technical Direc-

tor Dennis McLaughlin. Mike was on the way to receive his certificate in recognition of completing the same degree – a master’s in systems engineering from Old Dominion University. “It was great taking all of my classes with my wife,” said Mike, an engineer who supports Marine Corps technical programs. “She helped me in some of the course work and I helped her as well. We struggled together as a team and enjoyed the curricula, but we're definitely excited about moving on to the next challenge.” The engineers anticipate applying their new systems engineering expertise in Navy and joint technical programs. Mike and Janette joined 18 NSWCDD employees who were also recognized for completing a graduate degree in systems engineering at universities from the Naval Postgraduate School and Old Dominion University to George Mason University and Virginia Tech.

The packed house experienced a dramatic déjà vu moment as another married couple – Abby and Drew Mohle – were honored for completing their master’s degrees in systems engineering. “As husband and wife, Abby and I push each other to achieve our goals,” said Drew. “Working full time while pursuing an additional degree is difficult, but having your spouse alongside to support and encourage you the entire way, makes it much easier. We are proud to be recognized for this achievement and we’re excited to take what we have learned and apply it to our jobs.” “We both take great pride in all that we do, so being able to accomplish this endeavor together and be recognized together is a great privilege,” said Abby, an NSWCDD engineer who supports the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense MK 41 Vertical Launching System project. “Drew and I are very grateful that we were able to

pursue this opportunity – and to pursue it together.” The majority of graduates earned degrees in core engineering disciplines such as mechanical, electrical, computer and systems engineering. This year’s awardees also earned degrees in cybersecurity, national security and strategic studies, acquisition management, engineering management, optical science, computer science, applied physics, applied and computational mathematics, information assurance, cost estimating and analysis, public health, human services, aerospace engineering, advanced safety engineering and management, and business administration. McLaughlin and Durant commended the graduates for successfully taking on the challenges of balancing work and family responsibilities with academics to obtain certifications or degrees. “We’re so proud of our employees’ accomplishments,” said McLaughlin in his opening remarks. “Academic certifications have made them better equipped to meet the scientific, engineering, op-

erational, and management challenges ahead.” NSWCDD is committed to developing the best and brightest workforce by providing opportunities for professional growth. Effectively managing and nurturing employees, not only benefits the individual, but also maximizes the command's contribution to the mission. “Maintaining the highest skilled workforce is critical to our organization, and we recognize the benefits of partnering with our employees to invest in their education as we meet the ever increasing demands of our mission,” said

McLaughlin. “To achieve this, we have developed a strong academic program to support the development of our workforce.” Moreover, McLaughlin and Durant recognized graduates' families who shared in the sacrifice. "I applaud you and your families for all the work you have done to get your degrees and certificates,” Durant told awardees. "It would be near impossible, if not impossible, for the graduates to finish their degrees without the support from family and friends. Thank you, we all know it’s a team effort.”

KEARSARGE OPENS NEW ‘SPOT 3 CAFÉ’ By MC2 Aren Everett USS Kearsarge Public Affairs

NORFOLK

Amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), held the grand opening of ‘Spot 3 Café,’ an on board coffee bar, with partners Starbucks Branded Solutions and Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM), Sept. 23. The guest of honor, Navy Exchange Chief Executive Officer retired Rear Adm. Robert Bianchi, said Kearsarge is the 13th ship to partner with Starbucks and have a coffee bar on board. “I don’t know how you guys managed this, but you’re actually the third LHD to have the coffee bar installed,” said Bianchi. “A few months ago we cut the ribbon on your brand new ship’s store; you were the third LHD to have that store branded as well. I see a theme here with the number three.” Kearsarge Commanding Officer David Bossert said many people worked behind

the scenes to get the project done, and it’s a great morale-booster for Sailors and Marines on deployment. “Ships like this deploy for seven months at a time,” said Bossert. “You see very few liberty ports. Something like this means a lot to every Sailor and Marine serving their country out at sea.” Spokesperson from Starbucks Branded Solutions, Tom Woods said, “The military and Starbucks have a rich history. We’re very proud to be here, and I hope when somebody walks through these doors they feel at home.” All profits will go to the ship’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation fund so Sailors and Marines can take full advantage of liberty ports said Bianchi. Its mission is to provide a premium-quality of coffee service to the crew and to boost morale throughout the upcoming deployment, said Lt. Myeron Stanley, sales officer of the ship. “I contacted Tom Woods and the NEXCOM personnel and coordinated everything so we could get training on our machines

and the machines at the actual Starbucks,” said Stanley. “We have trained nine baristas total and have more scheduled to follow.” Senior Chief Ship’s Serviceman Cynthia Beale said the entire division is already preparing to learn to make specialty drinks for the

upcoming holidays. “We’re just excited to experiment with the different flavors and things like that,” said Beale. “We all want to have the same knowledge, so we can run smoothly and provide for the crew.”

Excess student furniture transferred to federal job corps centers By Bob Krekorian

Employees of Design Contempo move student desks declared excess from Ripley Hall, Naval Academy Preparatory School at Naval Station Newport, Sept. 29, for loading and transport to federal Job Corps agencies.

NAVSTA Newport Public Affairs

NEWPORT, R.I.

Nearly 940 pieces of excess berthing furniture with a depreciation value of $100,050 were transferred from the Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS), Naval Station Newport, to federal Job Corps Centers located in Massachusetts and New York. Other federal property declared excess at NAPS included assorted lacrosse equipment, valued at $250, that was transferred to the Exeter Job Corps Academy and three sets of bleachers that can seat 150, valued at $900, were transferred to the Oneonta Job Corps Academy. The transfer process, organized by the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO), Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk-Newport

Bob Krekorian

Detachment, started Sept. 21 and was completed Oct. 6. The acquiring federal agencies hired commercial movers to disassemble and move the furniture from Ripley Hall to DRMO for loading and commercial transport. Property transfers between federal agencies are normally made without charge for the property

itself. The acquiring agency must pay for shipping and transportation. “These Job Corps agencies receiving the furniture realized a cost savings,” said Lori Hall, DRMO disposal specialist. “They don’t have to appropriate funding for this furniture.” Westover Job Corps Center (WJCC) received 74 wood desks

with carrel and office chair, 50 rolling chairs, 320 captain’s beds with under storage drawers, and 150 nightstands, with a combined value of $87,600. “The beds will benefit the residential adolescents,” said Cathy Rushford, WJCC finance and administration director. “Some desks will benefit our academic services.” About two-thirds of all youths in Chicopee are affiliated with WJCC. Delaware Valley Job Corps (DVJC) received 150 desks with carrel, 150 curtains, and 46 rolling office chairs with a combined value of $12,400. “We appreciate working with the Navy,” said Matthew Bliefernich, DVJC finance and administration director. “This will help to refurbish and refresh the living spaces that our students spend a lot of time in.” DVJC has one male and one

female dormitory where 315 students are assigned four to a room. “In an extremely limited national budget, there is only so much money available to the Department of Labor (DOL) to make this type of equipment purchases.” Bliefernich said. The DOL Job Corps program provides career technical training and education programs for young people, who are at least 16 years old, that qualify as low income. Students reside in dormitory facilities. The NAPS furniture selected for re-utilization reached the end of its seven to 10 year replacement cycle. “The new method of directly transferring excess property for reuse has been streamlined to save the commands labor costs to dissemble the furniture and transportation dollars for disposal,” Hall said.

More than 4,000 Sailors and Marines from the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group (KSGARG) and 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (26 MEU) departed from Norfolk, Little Creek, and Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, on Oct 6. The deployment is part of a regular rotation of forces to support maritime security operations, provide crisis response capability and increase theater security cooperation while providing a forward naval presence in the U.S 5th and 6th Fleet areas of operation. The KSGARG is commanded by Capt. Augustus P. Bennett, commodore, Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 4, and is comprised of the multipurpose amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), the amphibious transport dock ship USS Arlington (LPD 24), both homeported at Naval Station Norfolk and the amphibious dock landing ship USS Oak Hill (LSD 51), homeported at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story. "The ARG/MEU team has done an excellent job going through the intensive and rigorous training cycle that has successfully prepared us for our deployment," said Bennett. "The hard work and dedication of every Sailor and Marine will allow us the ability to excel at any mission or situation that comes before us." The 26th MEU is commanded by Col. Robert C. Fulford and consists of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Command Element, the Ground Combat Element, Battalion Landing Team, Aviation Combat Element, Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron, Logistics Combat Element and the Combat Logistics Battalion. The KSGARG/26 MEU team will provide combatant commanders a versatile sea-based force that can be tailored to a variety of missions, including quick reaction crisis response options in maritime, littoral and inland environments in support of the nation’s maritime strategy.

Lincoln joins Enterprise, Ford for DC Olympics By MC3 Rob Ferrone USS Abraham Lincoln Public Affairs

NEWPORT NEWS

Damage control has always been an integral part of U.S. naval history. It has consistently protected the lives of Sailors. For damage control to be an effective strategy, Sailors need the proper training to combat shipboard emergencies. In honor of the Navy’s upcoming 240th birthday, more than 350 Sailors assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), USS Enterprise (CVN 65), and Pre-commissioning Unit Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), teamed up for a Damage Control (DC) Olympics competition at Huntington Hall in Newport News, Oct. 9. All three commands were integrated to create teams of five Sailors and competed in events such as simulated dewatering, pipe patching, and firefighting ensemble dress-out relays. Operations Specialist 1st Class Valerie Arellano, a damage control training team member aboard Lincoln, helped facilitate the event. “I think, especially in the shipyard environment, it’s important for our Sailors to sharpen their skills that they will use when the ship returns to the fleet,” Arellano said. “Making it fun is just a bonus. It’s great for our newer Sailors to get out here with the other commands and meet one another.” Although it was set up as a competition, the events that were practical are an integral part of training that Sailors receive to be as knowledgeable when it comes to

damage control. Lincoln’s Command Master Chief Lee Salas spoke to the group of Sailors before the event began about the importance of teamwork. “Seeing their smiles and Sailors having fun was a great experience,” Salas said. “People were working together across all three ships which is representative of our great Navy. Not one team stacked up any better than the other because of all the great training Sailors have.” Lt. Cmdr. Kelvin James, Lincoln’s damage control assistant (DCA) helped coordinate the event in hopes of building morale through effective, applicable training. “I’m in the Navy, and believe the tenets of Damage Control are a core competency for Sailors everywhere to have,” James said. “It’s a great honor to lead and train naval war fighters to prepare for every possible event and I’m honored to wake up every day and be the Lincoln’s DCA.” Lincoln is currently undergoing Refueling and Complex Overhaul (RCOH) at Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries in Newport News. Lincoln is the fifth Nimitz-class ship to undergo RCOH, a major life-cycle milestone. Once RCOH is complete, Lincoln will be one of the most modern and technologically advanced Nimitz-class aircraft carriers in the fleet, and will continue to be a vital part of the nation’s defense.

namesake’s hometown Continued from front “Having Senior Chief Lloyd in the Chiefs Mess has been incredibly valuable to the success of the ship over the last few years,” Langejans said. “I wish I had ten of him. The level of deckplate leadership he provides is an inspiration to his peers and to junior Sailors alike.” Lloyd chaired the command’s CPO 365 program for developing future chief petty officers, served as one of only eight senior enlisted duty section leaders on the ship, and managed job assignments shipwide as the command’s collateral duty coordinator. Under his leadership, the ship’s Medical Department ranked number one among all aircraft carriers fleetwide for medical readiness, and under his leadership, Navy Times selected an Eisenhower hospital corpsman as the Sailor of the Year for fiscal year 2015. Lloyd said that many of his peers work just as hard as does, and that he was lucky to be the one selected. “It’s an honor, it’s humbling. But really, this is a team award. Nobody succeeds without help, and I got lucky that I was able to work with a great group of Sailors. If I come across as a good leader, it’s because my Sailors are working hard,” Lloyd said. Jarvela also felt the award experience was humbling, and agreed that his individual recognition was the result of the efforts of many people. “I’ve never accomplished anything without having good people working right alongside me,” Jarvela said. “Success breeds success, and I’ve been fortunate to work with some successful people.”

The southern delegates, particularly, called the idea radical and didn’t see how it would benefit southern ports. The state of Rhode Island and John Adams were the most ardent supporters of establishing a Navy with the aspiration of protecting coastline communities and interrupting British advances. “This surprises me, knowing that the Navy is the back bone of our nation,” said Aviation Support Equipment Technician 1st Class Randy Limerick. “The projection of power helps to protect ourselves and our allies.” While Congress was debating, Gen. George Washington sent a report that he enlisted three ships to intercept British ships. The debate dissolved on Oct. 13, 1775. The U.S. now owned a very small fleet,

The Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group (KSGARG), with embarked 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (26th MEU), entered U.S. 6th Fleet’s area of responsibility (AOR) on Oct. 13. The maiden deployment for amphibious transport dock ship USS Arlington (LPD 24) marks the culmination of over a year of training and certifications for the ship, a fact not lost on Executive Officer Cmdr. Emily Bassett. “This is exactly what we trained for the last 18 months,” said Bassett. “What I love about Sailors and Marines aboard amphibious ships is that we are trained to expect the unexpected.” While in the area, the KSGARG, comprised of Arlington, the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), amphibious dock landing ship USS Oak Hill (LSD 51) and the 26th MEU, is mission capable to assist in a full range of maritime security opera-

We really were ready then, we’re ready now and ready always. I think it is perfect.” The Navy’s priorities are forward presence, to enhance combat capabilities, and strengthening international relations, to protect our international interests.

whether or not to arm them for battle was simple. “It was essential to winning the Revolutionary War,” said Information Systems Technician 3rd Class Gino Antonio Garcia. “America would not have won without an intrepid naval force. It also boosted morale among the ground forces.” The goal was never to defeat the British on the sea, but to interrupt their operations and cut off their supply lines. The impact of the new Continental Navy in the war was minimal, but its historic influence was significant. “It was aptly timed,” said Alvarado. “[The colonies] wanted the British to not get their armaments and stop them from conducting their missions against us. We just finished four or five months in the [Arabian] Gulf making sure that ISIS could not conduct their operations. [The crew aboard Roosevelt] should be taking [the birthday] to heart because we are doing the same thing we did 240 years ago.” According to the Navy’s official

tions, provide crisis response capability, increase theater security cooperation and provide forward naval presence in the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of responsibility. For the crew of Arlington, this deployment also represents the beginning of life for the ship as an operational asset for the Navy. “The entry into 6th Fleet’s area of responsibility marks the beginning of the KSGARG’s operational mission to support the requirements of the regional combatant commander,” said Arlington’s Commanding Officer Capt. Sean Bailey. “We become one of his warfighting assets and he takes operational control of the ARG. For Arlington in particular, this marks the first truly operational mission the ship has ever undertaken, and for that reason it is a historic event. We will be joining the war fighting fleet.”

Kearsarge, the flagship for the KSGARG, is returning to the U.S. 6th Fleet AOR after just two years having last sailed through the waters during her 2013 deployment. Capt. David Bossert was the ship’s executive officer at the time, and he returns with the ship, this time, as the commanding officer. “We’re working to ensure that U.S. alliances stay strong and unified,” said Bossert. “Our goal is to integrate efforts across NATO and develop new forward capabilities in theater.” For Oak Hill, the return has been much more than two years, and the return comes with much pride from the ship’s crew. “It’s been seven years since this ship has steamed through these waters; it’s been far too long,” said Cmdr. Orlando S. Bowman, Oak Hill’s commanding officer.

Two USS George H. W. Bush (CVN 77) Sailors were recognized by Norfolk Fire-Rescue (NFR) during NFR’s 2015 Employee Recognition Ceremony, Oct. 8. Machinist’s Mate Second Class Kris Howie and Machinist’s Mate Fireman Jacob Hines received the Captain Charlie Britt Lifesaving Award for their actions on May 22, when they rescued two individuals from drowning in the Hampton Roads area. The Sailors were fishing off a rock jetty on the edge of the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel when they caught sight of a boat hitting a structure beneath the bridge, throwing two people into the water. As the watercraft’s driver and passenger struggled in the water, the Sailors realized that the watercraft’s occupants were unable to save themselves. “We just saw people who needed help,” said Hines. “The first thing that went through my mind was, if that were my wife, I would hope somebody would jump in and save her.” The Sailors dove into the water and swam more than a quarter mile through the water to the struggling crash survivors. The Sailors noticed the driver and passenger of the wa-

tercraft had possible concussions and numerous lacerations on their faces. “The quick thinking and immediate actions of the Sailors, without rescue equipment, in water capable of causing moderate hypothermia, likely prevented additional injury and possibly death of one or both of the victims,” said David Pendergrass, acting battalion chief of Battalion Two at NFR. One Sailor boarded the watercraft, as the other took ahold of the driver and passenger. The Sailor then used the watercraft to tow his shipmate while he held the two addled crash survivors. As he neared land, the Sailor driving the watercraft found that NFR was signaling him and made their way to a rescue point. The Sailors helped the firemen bring their charges to the Fire-Rescue paramedics. The crash victims were then taken to the Norfolk General Hospital Trauma Center. The Employee Recognition Awards Ceremony is held annually and recognizes members of the NFR department, supporting agencies, and extraordinary members of society. “I’ve worked with these two Sailors for a long time now,” said Chief Machinist’s Mate Jessie Green. “I don’t know what to say, except that those are my guys and I’m extremely proud of them.”

October is National Bullying Prevention Month Statepoint

With children back in their school routines, October is the perfect time for local communities nationwide to unite to raise awareness of bullying prevention through education, outreach and activities. This is the message from the organizers behind National Bullying Prevention Month, which occurs each October. What was once historically viewed as “a childhood rite of passage” is no longer the case, as far from “making kids tougher,” bullying can result in such demoralizing effects as anxiety, self-esteem-loss, depression and school avoidance – and even lead to physical injury or worse. The special month has its roots in a week-long campaign by the PACER Center, an organization that assists young people with disabilities. It has since expanded to a month-long initiative to combat bullying, and is recognized in communities across the country, with hundreds and hundreds of schools and organizations contributing as partners. This year, such celebrities as Lea Michelle, Zachary Quinto, Emma Roberts, Robin Roberts and others have taped special videos to campaign to stop bullying.

FUN FAMILY ACTIVITIES FOR HALLOWEEN SEASON StatePoint

Trick-or-treating may be the standard Halloween tradition for most American families, but the holiday has branched out extensively over the last decade. Today, Americans spend over one billion dollars visiting Halloween-themed attractions. Where are they going, and what are the best activities for your family? The experts at Hauntworld.com are offering some spooky answers in this ultimate fall to-do list. Farm Fun: Many farms offer tons of fall activities ideal for families with young children, including picking the perfect carving pumpkin, finding your way out of a corn maze and drinking homemade apple cider. Other fun activities include pony rides, hay mazes, non-spooky hayrides, petting zoos and even shooting pumpkin cannons. Ghost Tours: Ghost hunting television shows have really increased the popularity in finding haunts and eerie tours. Learn more about your local area’s spooky history by taking family or out of town guests to haunted mansions, cemeteries, prisons and more. Zombie Runs: What could be scarier than a 5K run? One with zombies of course! Zombie runs are a good time for the whole family, providing a fun reason to get kids and teens moving, using obstacle courses, contests, prizes and more as incentives. Haunted Hayrides: Hayrides can be as sophisticated as a Hollywood movie, complete with fog machines and lights. Some

have even adopted new twists. For example, on a zombie paintball hayride, guests go on a high adrenaline adventure, hunting and shooting zombies with paintballs. Haunted hayrides make guests and especially smaller kids feel safe as they ride in groups. Home Haunts: Americans are now decorating their yards and homes into spooky graveyards with high tech lights, animations and more. Some homeowners take it further by also decorating their home’s interiors and creating mazes in the garage or backyard. Finding a spooky home haunt or neighborhood near you can be a great Halloween activity to do if you’re on a budget. For tips and tricks on haunting your own house, visit www.hauntedhousesupplies.com. Escape Rooms: Escape rooms offer an immersive and interactive experience like none other. These Halloween-themed attractions involve working together to solve puzzles and riddles in order to escape a room in under an hour. Haunted Houses: Haunted houses come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from three-dimensional black light attractions to haunted trails to major scream parks. Haunted houses also change regularly, so it may be very different from visit to visit. Today, most haunted attractions don’t rely as much on blood and guts as they do on interactive special effects, sophisticated costumes, story lines and computer-generated imagery. To celebrate the scary side of Halloween, get the family together for an unforgettable night filled with fun and screams.

Change the World through STEM, America’s Navy attends HESTEC 2015 By Burrell Parmer Navy Recruiting District San Antonio Public Affairs

EDINBURG, TEXAS

“Change the World through STEM” is the theme of the 2015 Hispanic Engineering, Science and Technology (HESTEC) Week held on the campus of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), formally University of Texas-Pan American (UTPA), Oct. 5-11. HESTEC Week is an educational conference that features events geared toward promoting science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education to people of all ages and backgrounds. HESTEC began with a congressional panel of 11 distinguished speakers focused on increases in STEM-relat-

ed degrees and employment. Notable speakers consisted of the following members of Congress: Congressmen Ruben Hinojosa (TX-15), Joaquin Castro (TX-20), Filemon Vela (TX-34), Congresswomen Marcia Fudge (OH11) and Judy Chu (CA-27). Commanding Officer, Capt. George Perez, Trident Training Facility, Kings Bay, Georgia, participated in the panel along with executives from UTRGV, Mercedes Independent School District, NASA, Shell and others. “First and foremost, the amount of technical training one receives in the armed services is phenomenal,” said Perez, who attended HESTEC in 2014. “In the submarine force, regardless of your educational discipline, we provide a college graduate the opportunity to

apply what they have learned in the academic environment into an operational one.” A native of Corpus Christie, Texas, Perez said that a career in the Navy also provides college graduates the chance to lead men and women in support of the nation, which is a rewarding and huge responsibility. HESTEC is celebrating its 14th year, and Hinojosa continues to champion the education of Latinos. From data compiled by the Texas Education Agency, Hinojosa stated that more than 50 percent of children in Texas public schools are Latino. “Our state and nation has the responsibility to educate all children,” said Hinojosa, who is also the co-founder of HESTEC. “For this reason, I believe we must do more to target much needed resources

for the growing number of Latinos and English learners entering our nation’s public schools.” According to Hinojosa, HESTEC, under the direction of UTRGV, remains a shining example on what can be achieved to promote student success. Through the support

of sponsors and partners, to include the U.S. Navy, HESTEC strives to empower teachers and administrators with the resources to inspire their students to pursue STEM careers, such as Educator Day; engage secondary level students in STEM-related, hands-on activities and presentations such as Stu-

dent Leadership Day, Latina Day, Robotics Day, Middle School Challenge and SeaPerch Challenge; provide university students with employment and internship opportunities such as College Symposiums and Fall Career Expo; and involve the community as a whole such as Community Day.

U.S., Peruvian forces conduct bilateral exercise ■ the exercise During Southern Seas 2015, U.S. forces will also conduct two multilateral exercises with participants from Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico.

PACIFIC OCEAN

Aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73), Carrier Strike Group (CSG) Nine, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) Two and Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) Two Three conducted a bilateral exercise with the Peruvian Navy and Air Force Sept. 30 through Oct. 3 as part of Southern Seas 2015. The bilateral exercise helps regional forces work together to address shared maritime security priorities during a series of cooperative training events and subject matter exchanges.

“The opportunity for our two navies to train together is important,” said Rear Adm. Lisa Franchetti, commander, CSG-9. “During this exercise, our strike group trained with Peruvian Navy and Air Force partners across the full spectrum of maritime operations to include anti-submarine warfare, air defense and maritime interdiction. Through this type of focused training, we develop the capability to respond to all types of threats.” Their integration aims to improve joint interoperability, carrier strike group operations and to practice war fighting against various threats. “In a bilateral exercise you have the opportunity to plan, conduct and de-

brief,” said Franchetti. “We can tailor the exercise to achieve objectives for both nations. We work together to ensure we are trained to handle all types of situations.” During Southern Seas 2015, U.S. forces will also conduct two multilateral exercises with participants from Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico. “Anytime you have a language barrier or an opportunity to work with a foreign country it benefits our training,” said Capt. Fernando Garcia, CSG-9 operations officer. “It gives us a better cultural understanding of their country. It also benefits their training because they see our tactics, procedures and techniques

Being part of the reserves, I am really looking forward to helping veterans and working closely with the Navy,” said Joyce. “I am really looking forward to the collaboration.” With approximately 6,000 veterans on Kauai eligible for the program, Hay is fully invested in assisting them to receive quality health care, without the sometimes long journeys across the island to the VA clinic. “It took a lot of hard work on the part of both the Navy and the Department of Veteran’s Affairs to get here today but anything worth doing is worth doing well,” said Hay. “By providing weekly remote care to our veterans we are helping take care of those who wore the cloth of our Nation and stood the watch before some of us were even born. It is my sincere hope that this program will flourish and be a model for other bases in other parts of the country.” Healthcare will be provided to eligible veterans who have scheduled appointments through the Veterans Affairs every Thursday at times given during appointment scheduling.

Department of the Navy Sexual Assault Prevention and Response OfďŹ ce Public Affairs WASHINGTON

As part of the continuing ‘Did you Know’ series from Department of the Navy Sexual Assault Prevention and Response OfďŹ ce (DON SAPRO), Chief of Chaplains Rear Adm. Margaret Grun Kibben sat down and talked with us recently about the Chaplain Corps’ role in sexual assault prevention and response (SAPR). “The Chaplain Corps is a ďŹ rst responder in many situations that deal with the health and welfare of an individual,â€? said Kibben. “Whether it’s a Sailor; whether it’s a family member; we really see ourselves as on the frontline, helping people to understand that they have somebody that they can go to when something has happened.â€? Sexual assault affects safety and readiness of all service members, destroying trust and degrading our Navy and Marine Corps Team. Each Marine and Sailor plays a critical role in preventing and responding to sexual assault. It is essential for all of us to know and do our part, knowing when and where to intervene to stop the crime. In addition to providing pastoral care, chaplains can provide a safe atmosphere that reduces fear and anxiety and helps the victim re-establish a sense of personal control and self-determination – all with 100 percent conďŹ dentiality. Chaplains also come alongside to help survivors navigate the path to further assistance with other partners in care. “Chaplains know the system, we know what’s available to the Sailor,â€? explained Kibben. “We’re there to help guide people to where they can get assistance, whatever that assistance is. Whether it’s medical assistance, mental health assistance or guiding them to someone with whom they can make a restricted or unrestricted report.â€? Chaplains are also there to step into the fray and be an advocate for an individual in cases of retaliation in the command. The reason chaplains do not receive restricted or unrestricted reports is because of their unique role to provide conďŹ dential pastoral care to both survivors and potentially perpetrators who are trying to come to terms with what they’ve done. Chaplains can be a moral voice to help perpetrators return to the lifelines of honor, courage, and commitment, enabling them to do their part to address the problem. “Chaplains have a unique relationship with Sailors, Marines and their families,â€? said Ms. Jill Loftus, DON SAPRO director. “A critical partner, advocate and command resource, Navy chaplains help reinforce who we are, what we stand for, and the core values we each embody: honor, courage, and commitment. They provide invaluable assistance and guidance for Sailors and Marines aoat, ashore and across the globe. They remind us of our common humanity and what it means to know your part and do your part.â€? The Department of the Navy is committed to a culture of dignity and respect for all, where sexual harassment and assault are not tolerated and ultimately eliminated; a culture where all sexual assault survivors receive support and protection from retaliation; and a culture where offenders are held appropriately accountable. The Chaplain Corps plays a crucial role in those efforts. Plain and simple: There is nothing honorable or courageous about allowing sexual assault to happen. Every Sailor and Marine plays a key role in holding each other accountable to our core values and standards of conduct and creating an environment free from sexual assault.

NWC CONTRIBUTIONS RECOGNIZED ON CAPITOL HILL By Ensign Dana Ayers U.S. Naval War College Public Affairs

WASHINGTON

U.S. Naval War College (NWC) leaders and alumni received a warm welcome on Capitol Hill, Oct. 7, during a congressional breakfast organized by Sen. Jack Reed, D-RI. The event offered a chance for members of Congress and their staff to hear details of how NWC educates and develops leaders, strengthens global maritime partnerships and supports Navy missions and combat readiness. “The war college is an extraordinary asset to the nation and the Navy,� Reed noted. “[The value] is not just the instruction in the classroom, it’s the war gaming and bringing together individuals from across the government and the nation to talk about critical issues. Additionally, the college’s international programs have forged personal relationships with key naval leaders across the globe and that has aided us immensely.� Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John M. Richardson echoed Reed’s remarks, expanding on the impact the college has had on international relationship building. “There are a number of international students, 357 of which have gone on to be their country’s chief of navy,� said Richardson. “So, we’re building strategic partnerships between future leaders. These international partners send their best [people], so it’s a remark-

able testament of the quality and the strategic inuence that the institution has.â€? Richardson also applauded the college’s leadership and faculty, adding that they are some of the leading thinkers in maritime and military strategy. “They have a history of not only adapting to the demands of the security environment, but deďŹ ning what that security environment will be and how we’ll respond to it,â€? said Richardson. One of those thinkers is Navy SEAL and NWC President Rear Adm. P. Gardner Howe, III. Howe shared what he sees as the crucial role the college plays in shaping future military leaders. “In today’s world, we can be operationally competent and experts in all of our systems, but that alone is not going to bring about successful military operations in the incredibly dynamic, incredibly challenging environment we are operating in,â€? said Howe. “We have to make sure we have sharp critical thinkers as leaders, and

you’re only going to get that through education.� Military leaders are not the only graduates who gain critical thinking and leadership skills through the college, rising civilian leaders are molded there as well. Military legislative assistant to Sen. Dan Coats, R-IN and Jim Dolbow, credits the college with preparing him for his roles on Capitol Hill and also inspiring him to serve part-time in the Coast Guard Reserve. “All the successes in my career can be traced back to enrolling in the Naval War College non-resident program,� said Dolbow. Other alumni and students at the breakfast highlighted the fact that the NWC experience offers much more than course content. “It teaches you a way of thinking more than what to think,� explained Sherman Patrick, military liaison for Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-VT. “It gives you disciplines and certain processes to go through when

making decisions on a daily basis. When I’m faced with a crisis on any day it might not have anything to do with [speciďŹ c course content], but the way I think about it is always inuenced by the lessons I learned at the war college.â€? Kira Self, a current student in NWC’s the College of Distance Education, explained how the college has helped her in her current role as a senior analyst for international affairs and trade issues at the U.S. Government Accountability OfďŹ ce (GAO). “The program has given me a lot of contextual understanding of what I do at GAO,â€? said Self. “The relationships I’ve made there have also been valuable; you have so many different types of groups that are in the program that bring unique experiences – Hill staffers, naval ofďŹ cers, GAO staff. It creates knowledgeable discussions that help us all in our jobs.â€? For more news from Naval War College, visit www.navy. mil/local/nwc/.

CNO Addresses Naval War College on Importance of Education By Daniel L. Kuester U.S. Naval War College Public Affairs

NEWPORT, R.I.

Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. John Richardson held an all-hands call at U.S. Naval War College (NWC) on Oct. 5, where he discussed the importance of the institution and its role in helping plot the Navy’s course. He also reminded students that what happens while they are students here – both in and out of the classroom – can change the trajectory of their careers and lives. “It is almost a magical place. And certainly you’re going to get a world class education. There is no doubt about that,” said Richardson. “Even more important, you’re going to forge strategic relationships with one another within our Navy, with current and future leaders of other navies, with the best thinkers in the United States and the world. This is a bright strategic star in the constellations of institutions.” Richardson said that the early visit, just three weeks into his tenure, was intended to make a statement on how highly he regards the school and the work it is doing.

It is almost a magical place. And certainly you’re going to get a world class education. There is no doubt about that.” -Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson

“I wanted to send a message first and foremost to all of you, how much I value this special place in our Navy. And how much I value each of you here in this room, both students and faculty,” Richardson said to a packed auditorium. The world is changing quickly and historically NWC has adapted seamlessly to the changing nature of security, according to Richardson. But the work at NWC reaches further than that. “You go well beyond adapting,” said Richardson. “You actually define the future security environment in so many ways. The thinking that emerges out of the Naval War College has, throughout our Navy’s history, not only adapted but projected what will be our future.” According to Richardson, that ability is a vital tool con-

sidering the current world situation. “I can’t think of any time where that will be more important than right now,” he said. “We are in a highly dynamic situation, and at no time has it been more important to get out in front and map our course into the future.” After his remarks, CNO took questions from students, faculty and staff. Richardson, who took office Sept. 18, is the 31st CNO and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1982 with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in physics. He holds master’s degrees from the National War College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

SECNAV APPROVES STRATEGIC PLAN FOR MARITIME DOMAIN AWARENESS By Brian Leshak Office of the Oceanographer of the Navy

WASHINGTON

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, the Department of Defense (DOD) executive agent for Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA), approved the DOD Strategic Plan for MDA, Sept. 23. The plan closely aligns with the 2013 National Maritime Domain Awareness Plan, which reaffirms our nation’s long-standing maritime leadership role as a source of national power. “We’re elated to have the secretary of the Navy’s approval of the strategic plan as the DOD executive agent,” said Rear Adm. Timothy Gallaudet, oceanographer of the Navy and director of the Office of the DOD Executive Agent for MDA. “The strategic plan will further advance the department’s efforts to enable timely, accurate and informed decision making by accelerating our ability to collect, fuse, analyze and disseminate maritime data, information and intelligence relating to potential threats to the security, safety, economy or the environment of the United States and its people.” The strategic plan provides a departmental vision and common way ahead for advancing MDA. More specifically, the plan will help synchronize DOD’s efforts with national policy and investments in MDA; expand and reinforce ongoing efforts with interagency and international partners; guide future MDA investments while minimizing redundancies;

and provide a basis for enhanced decision making across the maritime community. The plan was a joint effort with partnering agencies that include the Offices of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs, and the Deputy Undersecretary of the Navy. “In the coming weeks, my office will continue to engage with Navy, DOD, U.S. government and international partners to implement the goals and objectives outlined in the strategic plan,” said Gallaudet. “Working together with our close partners in the MDA community, we will collectively advance our shared capabilities which support our collective abilities to defend the homeland, engage our partners, ensure access, sustain presence, and if necessary, to project power within the maritime environment.”

15 years later, memories of USS Cole bombing remain fresh By Zach Mott Training Support Center Great Lakes Public Affairs Office

GREAT LAKES, ILL.

Fifteen years ago a bomb gashed the port side of USS Cole as it moored in the Aden harbor off the coast of Yemin. That bombing was the deadliest attack on an American ship in more than a decade killing 17 Sailors and injuring 39 more. On Oct. 9, 15 years after the attack, Sailors from Training Support Center (TSC) Great Lakes gathered inside the barracks named in honor of that ship to commemorate the day when terrorists attacked the American guided-missile destroyer. “Regardless of rank, each Sailor in the Navy becomes part of our family,” said Chief Electronics Technician Kevin Mikulka, a Navy military train-

ing instructor (NMTI). “We lost 17 members of our family who lost their lives in these attacks.” The keynote speaker for the commemoration was retired Master Chief Electronics Technician Pam Jacobsen, who was on board the Cole when it was attacked. She told the crowd about her experiences that day and why they were able to save the ship and prevent more Sailors from dying. “There weren’t any alarms, people just knew where to go,” said Jacobsen. “People knew where to go because we had trained – and we had trained, and we had trained. Our training kicked in and it’s what kept our crew from panicking.” Jacobsen currently serves as an instructor with the Center for Surface Combat Systems Unit (CSCSU) Great Lakes.

During the ceremony, Chief Navy Counselor Laniya Allen, a NMTI, read the names of each of the 17 Sailors who died in the attack as a wreath was brought to the front of the assembled crowd. With each name that was read two bells were rung to signify the end of the watch for these Sailors. “In the spirit of our remembrance, we can also celebrate and embrace the dedication of all those who choose a life on earth of consequence,” said Jacobsen. Each year, Sailors gather to honor the memory of their shipmates and to renew their commitment to protecting their fellow Sailors. “My heart will forever be broken at the loss of my 17 shipmates,” Jacobsen said.

GW | Sailor: Response from children ‘priceless’ Continued from B1 “I use United Through Reading because it’s more personal,” said Airman Alexander Atizado. “With a phone call, my family can hear my voice but cannot see my face. With email or letters, they can’t hear my voice or see my face. However, with the United Through Reading program, my family can see my face and hear my voice when I read a bedtime story and I am able to leave a message at the end of it.”

Many Sailors that have used the program often participate more than once. “I’ve used the program twice,” said Chief Cryptologic Technician (Collection) Derek Erickson. “I email and call home regularly, but my two boys are too young to read and when I videocall them in port, they reach for the phone and accidentally hang up. With United Through Reading they can see my face and I can tell them things personally.”

Some Sailors have received proof of their children enjoying their United Through Reading videos. “My wife has mentioned how excited my children get when they watch me on video,” said Erickson. “They point to the screen and talk to me as the video is playing. It’s very heartwarming to hear my boys say ‘I love you, Daddy.’ To get that response with the United Through Reading program is priceless.” According to Champion,

Washington had 145 Sailors sign up for the program in September. The program is immensely popular and 45 Sailors have already signed up for the first week of October. Washington is deployed as part of Southern Seas 2015, which seeks to enhance interoperability, increase regional stability and build and maintain relationships with countries throughout the region through joint, multinational and interagency exchanges and cooperation.

NDW kicks off Energy Action Month By MC1 Pedro A. Rodriguez Naval District Washington Public Affairs

WASHINGTON

Naval District Washington (NDW) is celebrating Energy Action Month this October. The President proclaimed October 2015 to be Energy Action Month. For the Navy and Marine Corps, Energy Action Month is an opportunity to reinforce how critical energy is to accomplishing its mission, and to encourage Sailors and Marines to look for ways to optimize their energy use to boost warfighting capabilities. Designed to inform and educate personnel about energy consumption and conservation, the campaign also hopes to encourage energy conservation and responsible usage by bringing awareness to the forefront. “We, individually, can affect energy security in a massive way by ensuring we make the most of every watt we expend and every gallon of fuel we burn. The recurring threat of government shutdown, hitting the debt ceiling, and sequestration make it clear that our resources are limited, and therefore must be maximized,” said Lt. Cmdr. James Shefchik, NDW Energy Program manager. “While it takes money to purchase energy, energy is an independent resource with limited availability. In addition to the budget limitations, there are absolute limitations that must be valued.” This year’s campaign theme is “Power-Presence,” which is fundamental to the Navy and Marine Corps’ mission to ensure stability, deter potential adversaries, and present options in times of crisis, and they depend on access to secure and reliable energy. “Expanding our ability to use alternative forms of energy increases our energy security by reducing dependency on foreign oil,” said Shefchik. To promote awareness within the region, NDW will be conducting a series of activities including an Energy Biggest Loser competition between installations. Region and installation public affairs offices will promote the contest in the month of October and provide tips and periodic updates throughout November. “The Energy Biggest Loser contest uses the spirit of friendly competition to encourage energy use reduction across the Region,” said Shefchik. “Each of the six NDW installations, including their major special areas, will compete. We will compare the electric usage in the month of November with the expected electric use. The prevailing installation will win an additional $70,000 to fund a facilities project of the commanding officer’s choosing; second place will gain $50,000 and third place will gain $30,000.” According to Shefchik, in addition to the Biggest Loser Competition, there will be a poster and video competition open to anyone affiliated with the base, including dependents. Other activities include recognition to the best building energy monitor. These competitions are all done in the spirit of energy action and reducing personal energy footprints; the winners will be recognized by NDW Commandant Rear Adm. Yancy Lindsey for their contributions. In 2009, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus set five energy goals for DON: increase alternative energy use Navywide, increase alternative energy ashore, reduce non-tactical petroleum use, sail the “Great Green Fleet,” and acquire energy efficiency, according to a 2012 DON Strategy for Renewable Energy report. Shefchik said, “The Navy’s mission is to win wars, deter aggression, and to maintain freedom of the seas. Energy is central to all action. Every decision, whether for a command, a program, a project or an individual has energy impact. Realizing the inherent energy decisions allow leaders at all levels to choose more effective use of our limited energy resources.” “As we find ways through everyday action to minimize our energy footprint, we free energy to make positive ripples throughout the Navy,” said Shefchik. As these plans move forward, the NDW/NAVFAC Washington team continues to set the standard for energy efficiency and awareness.

Continued from B1 “Sailors assigned to the U.S. 6th Fleet are operating forward in significant roles for the United States’ national security mission. It’s important for Fleet Beldo and I to understand how some of our new personnel policies might affect our Sailors. The best way to find out is to meet with them, listen to their concerns and take their feedback,” said

SAMPLING

Moran. “We’re working hard to modernize personnel policies and retention tools that recognize talent and further empower commanding officers, so we can maintain a ready force well into the future. The Navy we have today is made possible by the best Sailors we’ve ever seen. We aim to keep it that way.” This visit marks the second time Moran has visited Sailors in the U.S. 6th Fleet as CNP.

initial site visit for Public Health Review in August Continued from B1 Additionally, sampling will be conducted in the tents and Cuzco trailers, and at the base's incinerator. Personnel working in these locations can expect to see sampling equipment placed in various locations around Camp Justice, and technicians conducting the sampling during these time frames. This sampling is the latest step in addressing concerns brought to Navy leadership's attention alleging that since 2004 military and civilian employees working for the DOD Military Commissions on Camp Justice at NS Guantanamo Bay have been exposed

to carcinogens in an area surrounding the Commissions' trailers, tents, offices and courtrooms. The Navy requested that a Public Health Review be launched with the assistance of the NMCPHC to investigate the allegations. The initial site visit for the Public Health Review was conducted Aug. 4-8, by a team of Navy public health experts from NMCPHC in Portsmouth. Based on a review of available documentation and the site visit, the public health experts determined that the buildings, tents and trailers where personnel live and work are habitable for occupancy. The team also determined the administrative work sites

are low hazard and have low potential for overexposures to current occupational health standards. While the review of existing environmental records for Camp Justice found no record of contamination, the team did find that data gaps exist in the available historical documentation. In order to address those gaps, the experts recommended follow-on sampling be conducted.

COMING TO NORFOLK

Courtesy of The Illusionists

Best selling magic show in Broadway history hits Chrysler Hall this weekend By Yiorgo Contributing Writer

The New York Daily News calls it “JawDropping” and The New York Times says it is a “High tech magic extravaganza.” What are they all raving about? The record smashing “The Illusionists-Live from Broadway.” This is a mind blowing spectacular that showcases the jaw dropping talents of seven of the most incredible illusionists on earth. This amazing show, perfect for all ages, has broken box office records all over the world and will be at the Chrysler Hall on Oct. 16 and 17. Be there and witness with your own eyes such famous illusions as levitation, mind reading, disappearances and for the first time ever in history, a full view water torture escape. Acclaimed escapologist Andrew Basso, will hold his breath for over 4 minutes in his attempt to escape from his underwater cell. They are all a group of world-class performers who embrace the past with new and updated sets and contemporary costume designs and illusions. I spoke recently with Dan Sperry, one of the Top-10 most Googled people who many call “The Anti-Conjuror.” He is described as Marilyn Manson meets David Copperfield. His combining of magic with the ma-

cabre is an artwork in itself. Yiorgo: Where were you born and how did you get into magic or anti conjuring? Dan Sperry: I was born in Minnesota in a college town, but there were no magic shops where I grew up. My grandparents took me to see David Copperfield when I was five, and at that point I did not know that magic could be so theatrical and over the top. At the beginning of the show right off the gate he would do this escape where he would chain himself to a table and a big, spinning buzz show blade would come down to cut him in half, every few seconds the blade would come down closer and closer. The premise is that something goes wrong and the blade comes down on him and physically cuts him in half. I freaked out, and at the age of 5, I’m thinking this guy is dead, so they had to take me out to the lobby and calm me down. I was loosing it and we had to leave, so I never saw him being put together. I believed that he had died. Eventually magic stores opened up and I learned different tricks. Y: At the age of 17 you performed at the prestigious Magic Castle in Hollywood. How did that momentous event occur? D S: Well I evolved as a magician, I’m reading books and creating tricks by trial and error and getting myself on as many shows as possible. I am in Columbus, Ohio, in a magic show where they brought in a lot of magicians from different parts of the U.S. As my luck would have it, the stage manager at this show invited me to perform there. I said ‘I am

not 21 or a member,’ and he said, ‘don’t worry about any of that because I am the president of Magic Castle and I want you there.’ It went very well and I got to come back over and over again. And I still go back once a year if my schedule allows. Y: Any wow moments in your career? DS: There are many, but the coolest was that I got invited to Perry Farrell’s house. He is the lead singer of the rock band Jane’s Addiction. I listen to the band now and when I was young as well, so being invited to his house was really cool. They were working on their last tour and they wanted some magical elements to their live show. They saw what I do and they wanted me to consult and create stuff for it and with them. Y: You are one of the original illusionists from this show. How did that opportunity come up? DS: I was doing a tour of my own. I was in Des Moines, Iowa, and they had sent a scout to check me out. Originally there was one magician and a producer. The magician was tasked with seeking out other magicians for the show. He saw me and said that I was an option. They saw my YouTube videos and they saw my off Broadway show live and that’s what sealed the deal, because they saw that I could produce live. It’s sad to say, but there are so many people on the Internet that claim they are magicians, but with technology you can fool anybody. Y: What was the first show with the Illusionists like? DS: Our first show was at the Sydney Australia Opera House and was scheduled

to be a once a year show there. But our reputation took off and we started to get booked all over the place. And before you know it, we were on Broadway. Y: How did you evolve into your style of illusions? DS: I was always into the Universal movies of Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman etc. My dad had those movies and I would watch them and I also got into punk rock. I really got into that lifestyle. Eventually as I got older and my reputation grew I was able to interweave both styles by my mid twenties. Slowly, I would start to leave my Mohawk in the act, then my earrings, and so on. I went to the University of Chicago Art Institute and being in a big city allowed me to flip the final switch to who I really am as a person and as an illusionist. Y: Why should people come to see this show? DS: We are the biggest world touring magic show right now. There are seven of us and we cater to all forms of illusions. What’s really cool is that there is really something for everybody. It’s a family show, in the sense that every generation will find something they appreciate. I usually tell people it’s a magic show for people who love magic, and those that hate it, because of the so many different things going for it. You will leave feeling good, amazed and full of wonder! For ticket prices, dates, times, etc. go to broadwaynorfolk.com/the-illusionists-livefrom-broadway/.

A FAVORITE FOR FALL: COMFORTING CHILI By Janet Tharpe JustAPinch.com

The temperature might be cooling down outside, but things are heating up in the kitchen. Besides apple picking and our favorite pumpkin latte, the cooler temperature also kicks off chili season. As well as being tasty, chili is very versatile. By adding different beans, spices and meats you can create a chili recipe that will please every palate. “This chili can me made very mild to super hot,” explains Roxanne AndersenBridges of her Roxanne’s Chili recipe. My taste buds like hot and spicy and Roxanne’s recipe definitely fit the bill. Roxanne uses ground chuck as her base, then piles on the flavors. Onions, bell pepper, fire roasted tomatoes, garlic are a few ingredients that pump up the flavor. This recipe makes a lot of chili, so plan on leftovers. It’ll taste just as good the next day. But, would also be good on nachos, hot dogs, with cream cheese and cheese for a dip ... so many options! Dan Rinaldi was very creative with his meats when he developed his Fabulous Firehouse Chili. Dan combines six types of meat – pork chops, short ribs, tri-tip, ground beef, ground veal and ground pork – to create one hearty chili. “This is great topped with mild cheddar cheese and

served with cornbread on the side,” says Dan. I might add a dollop of sour cream next time too. The spices compliment each other perfectly and add just the right amount of heat. The addition of lime juice and honey sweetens the flavor of Kim Crain’s Kimmy’s Zesty Chili. She punches up the flavor a bit with her choice of meats in the recipe. Kim combines ground beef and Italian sausage which adds to the overall flavor and texture. “It’s meaty and nicely spiced with just the

right amount of beans,” mentions Kim. For those who like a bit less heat, this chili recipe is for you. It’s mild but still super tasty. “Chili is an intensely personal dish,” explains Geoffry LeCher. “what may be the world’s best for you may not be for others. Having said that, this 3-Bean and Steak Chili is my best chili.” Geoffry hit it out of the park with his recipe. The flavors and textures of this chili are amazing. The steak adds a richness that is delish. There

are a lot of spices in this recipe and they’re paired perfectly. I love the mix of cumin and tomatillos in Dianne Hocut’s Salsa Verde Mexican Pork Chili. “I make this excellent Mexican pork chili when I want something a bit different,” shares Dianne. This is definitely not your ordinary chili. It has all the wonderful flavors of Mexican cuisine without the heat. It’s so good! “Years ago I can still remember having my first bowl of White Chicken Chili and I fell in love,” reminisces Kim Biegacki. “Over time and getting myself into the kitchen to cook I worked on my own recipe.” One bite of Kim’s White Chicken Chili I fell in love too. Kim starts with a storebought rotisserie chicken which saves a ton of time. Also, she adds cream to her recipe which gives it a texture, unlike other chili recipes. This is a definite keeper. Chili is great for a tailgate, easy for entertaining or will warm the family on a cool night. Hopefully, you’ll try one of these tasty chili recipes. Or, head into the kitchen and get creative. Mix different meats and flavors to create one magnificent meal.

Five reasons to filter your drinking water StatePoint

For years, bottled water has been a go-to for clean drinking. Many believe it tastes better than tap water and assume it’s safer to drink. But at-home filtered water is another alternative, and while it gets less attention, there are many reasons why it could be the best option available. 1. You’ll Drink More Water: If you’ve ever filled a glass with tap water, you’re well aware of the strange taste and even smell that unfiltered water can have. When filtered to remove contaminants like chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, iron and more, the result is better tasting and more healthful water, encouraging you to drink more of it. And since it’s commonly advised that the average person should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily,

you’ll be making it easier to stay hydrated and healthy. 2. It’s Easy to Filter at Home: Filtering water at home is easy thanks to a variety of filtration options available. Look for products like the Pfister Clarify Filter Faucet, a water filtration system integrated directly into your kitchen sink that filters one gallon of water per minute, meaning it’s two times faster than most conventional drinking water systems. With its Xtract Filter Mode, you’re able to select between tap and filtered water by simply pushing the handle back, allowing you to get great tasting water from the tap with little effort. 3. Filtered Water is Cleaner and Safer: While tap water may appear clean and safe, it can actually be dirtier than it looks. Tap water travels through pipelines and may pick up contaminants along

the way. Although it’s disinfected and fortified before getting to you, you still can’t be guaranteed that it’s 100 percent safe. Filtration can remove chlorine, chlorine byproducts and dangerous volatile organic compounds while preserving healthy minerals. Bottled water is often seen as a safe, clean alternative to tap water, but as much as 25 percent of it is actually bottled tap water, according to government estimates. Additionally, bottled water may absorb chemicals from the bottle into the water, ending up in your body when you drink it. 4. You’ll Save Money: When compared to the cost of bottled water, filtration products like Pfister’s Clarify Filter Faucet can save an average family of four up to $460 in the first year. That means that in as little as three months, the filtration product will pay for itself.

Seventeen million barrels of oil annually are required to produce bottles for water for U.S. demands alone, according to The Pacific Institute estimates, and experts stress that it takes a fleet of 40,000 18-wheelers to deliver that bottled water weekly.

1. Picture Perfect Gallery Wall Show love to your favorite seasons by showcasing them on a featured gallery wall, which is a top design trend in 2015: ■ Gather a series of picture frames. Use ones that vary in size to create an eclectic look. ■ Using burlap, white paper, newspaper, or even pages from an old wallpaper book, place the material on the frame’s backing to create a unique backdrop. ■ Next, customize the gallery for fall by placing real or faux foliage in the frames. Since the frames are already hung, you can easily swap out décor for different seasons.

3. Curb Appetites in Style with an Edible Centerpiece Create a palatable centerpiece as a practical, yet pretty addition to the table with these steps: ■ Wrap the base of a candle with plastic wrap to prevent direct contact with your filler material. ■ Nestle the candle into a bowl and surround it with small apples, cranberries or coffee beans. ■ Take your centerpiece to new heights by painting a decorative stripe or pattern around the bowl.

Personalize Pumpkins with Paint Easily amplify your pumpkins with glam – here’s how: ■ Buy a few different shaped gourds and pumpkins from your local farmer’s market or grocery store. ■ Spray paint them with a metallic finish, white, lacquer or a textured paint. ■ Protect areas you don’t want painted, like the stems, with painter’s tape. You can also use the tape to create designs on the pumpkins prior to painting. With simple projects, you can elevate your home with custom character just in time for fall.

Logano wins, earns spot in Eliminator Round By Rick Minter Universal Uclick

Joey Logano punched his ticket to Round Three of the Chase for the Sprint Cup with a runaway win in Sunday’s rain-delayed Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Logano led 227 of 334 laps to win by .703 seconds over Kevin Harvick. It was his fourth win of the season and the 12th of his career. And it was Logano’s 10th win with Team Penske, which hired him in 2013 after Joe Gibbs Racing released him to make room for Matt Kenseth. Logano’s team owner, Roger Penske, said Logano and his No. 22 Ford team, led by crew chief Todd Gordon, put on an amazing performance in their first win at Charlotte. It takes a perfor-

mance like that these days to outrun defending series champion Kevin Harvick, who the week before scored a dominating win at Dover, where he hadn’t won before. Penske said Logano has really blossomed under his employ. “He came on our team, and he’s done nothing but go straight up,” Penske said. “When you can beat the 4 car [Harvick] any day, any time, that’s a big deal for us.” Logano, who is in his seventh full season as a Sprint Cup driver, is still just 25 years old. But he’s become a mature driver in many aspects, as his post-race comments indicated. “As Roger [Penske] says … ‘Don’t trip on your press clippings,’” Logano said. “I usually hear that after every time we win, so that just

means don’t rely on the speed you’ve got today, because tomorrow it won’t be there. You’ve got to be able to keep moving forward and working on becoming a better race car driver.” Logano said his main goal now is to be the one hoisting the champion’s trophy after the season-ending race at Homestead-Miami Speedway next month. “We want to win a championship at the end of the year, and there’s still a long ways to go,” he said. Harvick’s runner-up finish was his 11th of the season, and three of those have been in races won by Logano. Eight of the top nine finishing positions went to Chase drivers, with seventh-finishing Austin Dillon the only driver to break the string. Almost as noteworthy as

He came on our team, and he’s done nothing but go straight up.” -Team owner Roger Penske

Logano’s win were the troubles experienced by a trio of Chase contenders who wrecked during the race and saw their hopes of advancing to the Eliminator Round take a blow. Matt Kenseth, who started on the pole and led 72 laps early in the race, was shuffled back on an early pit stop in which he took four tires while many of his competitors took two. He never recovered, and after several other incidents, finally slammed the wall so hard that his No. 20 Toyota was too damaged to continue. His teammate Kyle Busch suffered similar misfortunes. He was running third when he and second-running Kyle Larson collided at the entrance to pit road. Busch’s car received considerable damage, then he hit the wall again after running through oil on the track and wound up 20th. Dale Earnhardt Jr. also had several encounters with the wall, and finished 28th.

so on game day or in advance by visiting the Scope Box Office with valid military ID. Any fan with a valid military ID can purchase a Red Level ticket at the discounted price for a game on a Military Appreciation Night. Opening Night is just around the corner! Individual game tickets, season tickets and 10-pack tickets for the 201516 regular season are all on sale now. Individual tickets begin at $17, 10-pack tickets start at $125, and season tickets are available for as low as $400.

THE DANGERS OF A LOW SALT DIET sodium consumption in more than 100,000 people in 17 countries. The study found that the healthy range for sodium consumption was between 3,000 and 6,000 mg per day. Eating more than 7,000 mg per day of sodium increases your risk of death or cardiovascular incidents, but not as much as eating less than 3,000 mg per day. The low salt diet was significantly more harmful than the high salt diet.

Salt, or sodium chloride, is essential for life. In fact, no mineral is more essential to human survival than sodium because it allows nerves to send and receive electrical impulses, helps your muscles stay strong, and keeps your cells and brain functioning. However, sodium chloride (salt) is a nutrient that the body cannot produce, and therefore it must be eaten. The average American eats about 3,400 mg per day of sodium, according to The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. You may have heard that this is too much, but according to new research, it may actually be on the low side of the healthy range. A 2014 study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, tested

Salt has many health benefits. The other component of salt, chloride, is also essential to survival and good health. It preserves acid-base balance in the body, aids potassium absorption, improves the ability of the blood to move harmful carbon dioxide from tissues out to the lungs and, most importantly, it supplies the crucial stomach acids required to break down and digest all the foods we eat. Because the level of salt consumption is so stable, it is an ideal medium to use for fortifying other essential nutrients such as iodine. Iodized salt first produced in the U.S. in 1924 is now used by 75 percent of the world’s population to protect against intellectual disabilities due to Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD). Iodine is an essential element in healthy human life, enabling the function of thyroid glands to produce needed hormones for proper metabolism. When children in the womb don’t get enough iodine from their mother, fetal brain development may be impaired. During pregnancy, iodine deficiency can cause a child to develop learning and intellectual disabilities, as well as developmental problems affecting speech, hearing and growth. Salt is also a vital component of hydration. After exercise, it is critical to replace both water and salt lost through perspiration during exercise. That is why all athletes make sure they are consuming sufficient salt during and after a workout. Expectant mothers and seniors, in particular, need to

guard against under-consumption of salt. Higher-salt diets have also been used successfully to combat chronic fatigue syndrome. Asthma sufferers, particularly in Eastern Europe, are often treated by having the person spend time in salt mines or salt caves. This is because the unique microclimate, containing ultrafine salt particles helps clear the lungs. Low salt diet myths Low salt diets can be especially harmful for the elderly. In older people, mild hyponatremia (low sodium concentration) is the most common form of electrolyte imbalance in the blood. Indeed, several recent medical papers found a direct relationship between hyponatremia and unsteadiness, falls, bone fractures and attention deficits. Elderly people on low salt diets often experience a lack of thirst, which leads to dehydration; and they experience loss of appetite, that leads to a host of health problems. Falls are one of the most serious problems for the elderly and about a third of people older than 65 fall at least once every year. Fall-related injuries in the elderly are

associated with numerous psychological and physical consequences and are a leading cause of bone breakage and hip fractures, which can lead to complications and permanent disability or death. More than five percent of all hospitalizations in people older than 65 years are due to fall-related injuries. Sadly, the research shows that in assisted living facilities, where almost all residents are given low-salt diets, the rate of falls and fractures are three times as great as in the normal home environment. Salt and life expectancy It is well documented that the Japanese and the Swiss enjoy some of the longest life expectancy rates of anyone in the world. It is less known however, that they also have among the highest rates of salt consumption. A review of peer-reviewed medical research around the world indicates that if people were to actually consume the low levels of salt recommended in the U.S. Dietary Guidelines, they would put their health at risk. Fortunately, most Americans – including the elderly – when left to their own choice, consume salt within the healthy range.
